First, a quick reality check: Meredith and Derek didn’t have a normal proposal. Derek popped the question in the most Derek-Shepherd way possible—by promising to “choose her” after a whole season of waffling. But then, plot twist, he actually proposed with a ring, and Meredith said yes. Cue the confetti? Not so fast.
The wedding got delayed because Meredith’s step-mom got sick, then Derek’s sister got sick, and then Meredith literally drowned. Yes, drowned. Nothing says “we’re getting married” like one of you being dead for a few minutes. Classic Grey’s move.
